Distance between LHR and ARN [type 1 EC261/2004?]
I just received a reply rom SAS denying my EC261/2004 request. The reason was
"Kindly note that according to EU regulation 261/2004 compensation is paid out when delay is three hours or more. In your case delay is less than three hours (2h 05min), therefore we are sorry to say but cannot honor your claim. We do hope that you will choose SAS for your upcoming flights as your valued costumer....."
I thought the shortest, great circle distance between LHR and ARN is 792 nm, 1466 km, so I thought type 1 in Article 8 in EC261/2004 should apply?
